Kelsey Plum: Over 2.5 3PM (-155) @ Aces
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit
Plum’s first season with the Sparks is going about as well as one could have hoped. The three-time All-Star is averaging a career-high 21.8 points to go along with 5.4 assists, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.9 steals per game. Her efficiency has taken a dip, but that’s to be expected as she takes over as the No. 1 scoring option for Los Angeles.
Her first reunion with the Aces was somewhat disappointing, with Plum scoring 17 points on 6-of-19 shooting from the field, including 1-of-7 from 3-point range. However, she’s recovered nicely over her last few appearances, and she’s entering tonight’s rematch with Las Vegas on the heels of a 24-point performance in a loss to Golden State.
Meanwhile, the Aces are struggling in their first year without Plum since their inception, going 4-3 while ranking among the bottom half of the league on both ends of the floor. Each of their three losses have come by 14 points or more, with the latest coming by 27 to the upstart Valkyries. The defense has been most disappointing – Las Vegas has given up as many as 102 points in a single game and had issues defending the perimeter.
All things considered, I’m banking on Plum having a more efficient showing – particularly from deep – as she makes her second trip back to Sin City. She’s surpassed this mark in six of her first 10 games, making the over my WNBA bet of the day.

Storm: Over 75.5 Points (-125) vs Lynx
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit
Seattle is in the midst of an up-and-down season, but it’s also had a tougher schedule than most. A three-game losing streak came against the Lynx, Dream, and Aces, but the squad has bounced back nicely with two straight victories over the Wings and Mercury entering tonight’s showdown with Minnesota.
The Storm have also played the unbeaten Lynx better than just about any other team in the WNBA this season. Seattle dropped a heartbreaker on the road in late May, falling 82-77 despite a 20-point performance from Gabby Williams. It also helps that the Storm match up well with the defending Western Conference champions: MVP favorite Napheesa Collier was held to a season-low 16 points in their last meeting.
With that in mind, I’m looking for Seattle to score over 75.5 points in tonight’s rematch. The Storm have played considerably better at home, averaging nearly 84 points over five games, and they’ve surpassed this mark in seven of their first nine overall.
